I must say that this is a hugely under-rated film .
It simply never gets the time of day from any of the very accomplished kung fu movie viewing regulars who frequent this forum ; who for the most part are inebriated by the works of WANG LUNG WEI and GORDON LIU......Anyway not to be too critical ,i do have much respect for the knowledge of my fellow "kungfuers" I will venture however ,to do what most have either ignored or simply have not discovered ;to recognize that this movie is an " A " plus.
Admittedly , there aren't a lot of ' big ' names , but the movie stand on the it's own merit .Laced with first -class choreography ; wonderful stunts ;and a unique mix of weapons and hand to hand combat , sweetly put together by director JOHN LAW (knows little about him)
WOW...! was my first reaction , what a movie.......the only recognizable name is KWANG FUNG....but the other ' minions ' , contributions made this a gem.....
average story , average acting....
great martial arts , great stunts....
This is my pick for movie with a 'b ' cast but an " A " performance......
get this one , without and ado....
wow..!
"A".....PLUS .
